On One Pompino owners...

with winter coming

Literally wouldn't swap my Pompino for anything else for a winter commuter. Not too flash or expensive, sturdy as hell, fun to ride, takes fat-ish tyres, mudguards and a rack. You know you want to!

@lemonade yeah it ticks lots of boxes only thing was the brakes being a bit different, gf said it was ok to order so I'm working out every single part I may or may not need and hitting order before she changes her mind about another bike in the house(bike 6...)

Ordered a large blue frameset. Still getting my head around the brake options but ordered one of these for the front and similar for the back.

Will I be ok running mini v brakes with the rack or should I be looking at cantis more?

order her a pompino as well then. problem solved.

@powleo she wants her bike purple and has taken to the mixte frame, if I get rid of the bike I'm currently riding I could get another pompino and then have one setup for cargo and another for speed but this one will be the 6th bike I have snuck in so it's getting harder to hide them...

Mini V > road brakes but
Normal vs > mini Vs
if you read about Cantis (as in centre pull) they can be set up as good as V's but Vs are more idiot proof!

Long story short, if you have the bosses, get normal v brakes and long pull levers.

I find v-brakes to have more power but less modulation than cantilevers and standard road calipers. This overall effect seems to be exaggerated by mini-vs.

my mini v's have 3 positions only, go, stop, skid

That is more than enough.

It's here. The blue matches my bag.

What size did you end up with?

lol

anyone know the weight of a v4 pompino frame, thinking of building one for sscx, is it heavier than the nature boy? neither is going to be light.

From the pompino spec page.
Approx. Frame Weight (g) Frame: 2.21Kg / Fork: 950g (Medium)

Box says net weight 3.5kg, gross weight 5.5kg for frame+fork.

Box weight is never accurate.

^Rad. What cockpit you gonna go for?

TTTCX friendly I guess

Hey,

I just bought a complete On-One Pompino, but the frame is an XL and I am looking for a Medium. Is anyone selling a Medium Pompino frame I don't care what year it is. I just need the frame itself, thanks!!

V1 is 135mm rear spacing

Winter is almost here so I guess I'll be using this more now.

I can't wait until I've got some spare cash to give it a bit of a makeover.

Plans?

• singlespeed instead of fixed, I fancy being able to coast to work on lazy mornings.
  
• drops and hoods
  
• pannier rack or large saddle bag
  
• maybe a respray if my budget allows.
